From Brassai to Walker Evans to the surreal light-play of Léon Gimpel, many are the photographs where text is one with the image. In this symbiotic relationship where one is meaningless without the other, is born a new approach that forces us to read the photograph “literally”.
“Ecritures” presents a series of photographs, dating from 1860 to 1980, issued mainly from the fertile reservoir of anonymous photography – which joyously mingle letters, text, tags, graffiti and other hieroglyphics.
Besides, is photo-graphy not above all writing with light?
